Thin set and sealant?

newDIYer2013April 14, 2013

Hello,

I'm about to rip up my first carpet and would like to put down a tile floor. The carpet has been used by pets on numerous occasions as a potty break area so I'm anticipating there being a residual odor in the concrete slab. I've read online that a sealant like Kiltz would be perfect for locking the odor in place, but I've also read that this would not work well with a layer of thin set. Being new to all of this I was wondering if anyone had an experience or first hand knowledge they could share from a similar situation. I was also wondering if the Kiltz / thin set combination was a no-no, then what else might I try? Thanks in advance.
